Merry and Bright Market 2023!

            As you may remember from 5 + years ago, my dad and I actually. Well my mom, dad and I went to this event. Reasons was because the way it was setup but this time it was a lot better of an event. Vendors up center street was awesome. They had a bus trolley driving around and was so busy if it wasn't I would of liked to have a ride on it. There was a shop with art, soaps, candles Christmas wreaths. A lot of cool stuff. Even with a area for hot chocolate and treats.  

            There was local vendors even the art studio even food there. Wasn't a lot but hey it was a very simple event and simple is definitely good. However, I enjoyed myself last night and been long wait to returning to this. We heard about this down at the lake via a sign but glad I went and had a wonderful evening out. Anyways that is the post for today, have a great weekend, it will be a hectic weekend finishing up notes for next Thursday and I think I can definitely handle that but Mark will be doing the end of the week updates tomorrow and I will talk to you all on Monday.

Apple Festival/Art Show 2023

             Saturday I got to go to the Apple Festival in Bowmanville Ontario. Was the second year in a row that we've done this festival. Since the cases have been down even though things have kind of gone up hill lately but still very much safe to go out to the events at the moment but always keeping aware of everything going on.  

         Also within  the same day, I actually went to the Art show as it was on the same day plus some soup festival event going on at the Polish hall but hard to go to it all honestly but I would of gone. Anyways the art show was in the north in the city from where I'm from so a bit of a travel but worth it. Art was gorgeous and made me inspired to try and get sketching in my sketch book which I need to find as the one artist, she actually asked me if I like art and I told her I'm not much of an artist but do dabble from time to time honestly. We enjoyed both events and that is the post for today, thank you for reading, hope you enjoyed this blog and I will speak to you all tomorrow for the next activity we did.

Orono Fair 2023!

           This weekend, I attended the Orono Fair 2023 for the second year in a row as before we miss two years due to COVID. Anyways, fantastic time with my dad. At the start we looked around the arena which mind you had no ice yet for the hockey season. Anyways, our local transit was there which I got some information on routes for the 507 route. They even had a Jenga game for the kids and that instantly brought back a lot of memories as a kid playing it. And yes I got a picture of me in front of the Zamboni in the arena, I had to! 

           Then we watched the Antique Tractor pull on the one side then we switched to the other side which was bad with the wasps around us constantly driving us insane. Then we grabbed food and watched some more tractor pull, followed by looking at the tractors on static display that has been or just sitting there. Looked around at the rides and activities and there is a board where you put a ball in and it goes to the top and goes down. Like a Plinko board from the Price is Right. Also the cows, sheep and pigs were there as well.  Cows were mooing at me I said something and the one mooed at me like it understood me. There was horses as well. Anyways we had a wonderful time and I hope you guys enjoyed reading this blog and I will speak to you all tomorrow.

Kars on King 2023

           Yesterday, I went into the downtown for Kars on King. I am not sure if this is my second time and if I have been to the one last year and I could of with both my parents. Anyways, one of my cars that I saw is the Austin Mini aka the Mr. Bean car. One of my personal favourites actually. Saw a lot of different varieties of cars at Kars on King. I actually ran into friends of mine that I have been friends with for many many years now. Also my aunt and uncle we bumped into on the other end of the downtown and another friend of mine that I didn't see but knew she was there. 

         Now there was entertainment obviously between one of the major roads there which is called the 4 corners which is truly what it is called. When we came back around to the main stage there it was an Elvis tribute by a gentleman and boy he sounded like him actually, exact same voice as Elvis... He was really, really good! As you guys know there is always 2 cars that I hope to see, actually scratch that 3: Lemon car (Edsel); Delorean car and the Mr Bean car, Austin Mini which I saw. I can officially say I saw at least 1 of the 3 yesterday night. Anyways that is the blog for today, enjoy the rest of your weekend and talk to you all Monday.

This week will be been tough with posts!

            This week has been hard to navigate between the blog posts as this week has been a bit trickier to navigate as there is two days already booked for the Fiesta Week and today being one of them actually at the German Pavillion today and Friday being the other which I have added an additional blog post to the schedule this week to cover the French-Canadian Pavillion. There may be one more Pavillion added to the list and we'll see how things go but I do not even know what I'll do to add the third one to the list. 

            I could post a second post Friday but yet again this post may just be scrapped and you will not be reading this today. It all depends if we can squeeze in another one but I do need to go get wood to build a frame for a drawer which has more importance but this is why I am keeping things more open this but as I said this week is tough. Anyways that is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Got a Couple of Events Next Week!

               Next week will be a busy one for event wise for me. I will be at 3 local events. As you know Fiesta Week is next week and I will be at least 2 - 3 different venues for Fiesta Week:

Tuesday: German Pavilion- Will be looking forward to some food from Germany. I've had it before and really enjoyed it. Anything European is actually great, I enjoy it. 

Friday: French-Canadian- As you know I am part French, part Slovak which that part you never knew about till today. My parents and I will be going together to the French-Canadian Pavilon and excited to have some French-Canadian food. 

               There is one more being added possibly and could be the Caribbean Pavillon in there between but depends on the schedule and what not. Still have to confirm that one way or another but will let you guys know. That is the post for today, I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Peony Festival 2023

 

            This is the start of a few events around my city here and was at the Peony Festival yesterday with my dad despite the weather being here. flowers were beautiful and out in full bloom. Had some music in the background up to the point of the mic issues where the feedback was happening. 

              This year actually saw the start of the other side of the creek they had food, entertainment so they really expanded on the event which was really good to see. I know I was on Facebook/Instagram Stories you saw some behind the scenes looks at the event what it is like. I should do those more often for you guys regardless. Either way, I enjoyed myself, we enjoyed ourselves as my dad was with me. Was just an enjoyable event and I will talk to you all tomorrow for another blog post which I have no clue what it will be but will talk to you all tomorrow for whatever topic I have to talk about.

What Is Going on With Events This Year?

           I know the last two years with events has been all up in the air with this pandemic. With everything unknown for the events I go to I have made that decision to not make a specific flyer for the events I will be at for the blog here on ChrisBOnTheWeb.com. I can say Toronto is most DEFINITELY out of the realm of possibility as that is where I got sick with the "C" word last year, I am not about to make a second round of it anytime soon and any trips there is a most definite no. Also with the recent crimes in Toronto, I do not even feel like it's not safe to go there at this moment. I rather focus on the events here locally at this time.

            Any of the events will be only posted here on the website on Schedule page here on the website. It is just the best way to know what events I will be going to this year. Right now in the coming month I will be gathering events for this year that will be only local and only local in the region here. Yes I will be adding in Halton County Radial Museum and maybe South Simcoe Railway into the mix perhaps but that is it. So that is what is happening with events and the post for today, so I will as always will talk to you all tomorrow!
